Isaiah 42:15
Berean Standard Bible
I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation. I will turn the rivers into dry land * and drain the marshes.
Context
13The LORD goes forth like a mighty one;
He stirs up His zeal like a warrior.
He shouts; yes, He roars
in triumph over His enemies: 14“I have kept silent from ages past;
I have remained quiet and restrained.
But now I will groan like a woman in labor;
I will at once gasp and pant. 15I will lay waste the mountains and hills
and dry up all their vegetation.
I will turn the rivers into dry land *
and drain the marshes. 16I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;
I will guide them on unfamiliar paths.
I will turn darkness into light before them
and rough places into level ground.
These things I will do for them,
and I will not forsake them. 17But those who trust in idols
and say to molten images, ‘You are our gods!’
will be turned back in utter shame.
